I rode it for the first time today. Gotta get a better M/C on the front, and obviously, it is still waiting to be re-wrapped, but gods does it handle better and, with the new carbs and a valve adjust, it runs BEAUTIFULLY.

Coolness! Glad to see it complete. The modern rolling stock sure changes the look- for the better.
Curious- did you make the fins on the head silver? Typically, original ESs I've seen didnt have that- I assumed that Suzuki didnt bother due to their being covered.

Very nice! Enjoy it.
Good eye there, Glen. I did indeed!
Good for you Mason!! Looks awesome and looks like a ton o fun!Btw I had that exact same exhaust on the 1150 I had. Sounded awesome!
I love the sound, Trevor, though I wish the can were a bit more substantial. I toy with the notion of fitting a Supertrapp can to it when I have the header and mid-pipe Jet-Hotted.

Love those bikes
I have to say, I enjoy it sooo much more without the fairing. It is surprising how much wind that fairing keeps away, but no rattles, a much smaller feeling bike, better vision around you, and yes, the hot rod look and feel is undeniable.
No Officer, i don't know how fast i was going.
Have fun with it!

There's a full instrument cluster there-a Koso!
I have that same exhaust, and dig the look and sound. I liked it so much, I brough it over from the e
I had before the es. (The es had a V&H megaphone ) I did a couple of fairing-less rides this summer after I had it off for the mounting lug repair and yes the lack of rattles was nice. The rattling is something I want to address. I do enough cool weather riding that I wouldn't get rid of it.
Having an e and an es would be sweet.....

Now you have an idea of what my 1166 ed with 4:2:1 yoshi was like. You have to have a 1/4 fairing. I did a trip without and it was a definite Moho. I have a CF Ducati headlamp fairing I was gonna put on my GSxR 1100g
Nah, this one's staying 100% naked. I love the look. The CB900f has a CB1100f style bikini fairing, and that will be the long distance voyager for me.

After you install the lunch box "ON TOP FULL CENTER" you might change your mind. No such thing as naked.
I had a similar experience when I put on my +2" tall windscreen. I'd still swear its noiser in my helmet with the es then the e though. Maybe all of that air aimed at my shoulders / head.

Lunch Box? As in some other piece or part? The bike is 100% complete. No other parts will be added. Ran it up to just over 100 today. Totally sweet.
